Posted by dz on 911Blogger.com (9/12/06) under "Grab Bag of News Submissions":One of the more interesting moments in this documentary (about 46:25 minutes into it) is when they ask demolition expert Danny Jowenko (who has his own demolition firm and reportedly has been active in this business for 27 years) to comment on videos of the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC 7.His response to the WTC 7 video: "This is controlled demolition".Link:http://www.911blogger.com/node/2801

ImplosionWorld.com lists Danny Jowenko as being a contributor to their production of "A History of Structural Demolition in America". Scroll down to "Interviews and conversations with the following licensed blasters and associates":Link:http://www.implosionworld.com/history4.htm

Jowenko owns a demolition firm called, Jowenko Exposieve Demolitie B.V.. Information about his company's qualifications can be found posted on their website:Link:http://www.jowenko.com/index.php/1,3,2

-Reporter Al Jones: "People started to run away from the scene [WTC7] and I turned in time to see what looked like a skyscraper implosion -- looked like it had been done by a demolition crew -- the whole thing just collapsing down on itself and another big huge plume of gray and white smoke shooting up into the air and then more of the smoke billowing up the street here... so that’s number one, number two, and now number seven that have come down from this explosion."

-Emergency worker: "We were watching the building [WTC7] actually ‘cause it was on fire… the bottom floors of the building were on fire and… we heard this sound that sounded like a clap of thunder… turned around -- we were shocked to see that the building was ah well it looked like there was a shockwave ripping through the building and the windows all busted out… it was horrifying… about a second later the bottom floor caved out and the building followed after that… we saw the building crash down all the way to the ground… we were in shock."

Bonnie: How long did you work as an emergency medical technician and exactly what is it that you were doing (at ground zero)?

Indira: ...when I got there we were setting up triage sites (at ground zero), close, very close to the area. The triage site that I was setting up was behind, well, to the east of Building 7 where Building 7 came down...
...we were setting up triages as close to the pile as possible… so what we were doing was setting up different kinds of stations… IV stations, cardiac stations, wound stations, burn stations ...just trying to have an organized space. What happened with that particular triage site is that pretty soon afternoon, after mid-day on 9/11 we had to evacuate that because they told us Building 7 was coming down... I do believe that they brought Building 7 down... By noon or one o'clock they told us we had to move from that triage site up to Pace University a little further away because Building 7 was going to come down or being brought down.

Bonnie: Did they actually use the word brought down and who was it that was telling you this?

Indira: The fire department... the fire department and they did use the word "we're going to have to bring it down."

Excerpt from an article written by award winning photographer, Thomas Franklin, who snapped the world famous photo of firemen raising the American flag at ground zero. In the article Franklin explains that all of ground zero was evacuated less than an hour before WTC 7 was demolished at approximately 5:20 pm on 9/11:

"Much of what happened to me on September 11 is a blur, but this moment I clearly remember: It was 4:45 p.m., and all the firemen and rescue workers were evacuating Ground Zero after word came that a third building -- WTC 7 -- was ready to fall. I had only a few frames left, and an entire day's worth of pictures to develop, so I prepared to head back to New Jersey."Article:http://archives.cjr.org/year/02/2/franklin.asp

“Amazing, incredible pick your word. For the third time today, it’s reminiscent of those pictures we’ve all seen too much on television before, where a building was deliberately destroyed by well placed dynamite to knock it down.”Video:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BcquyD_DcQ

“I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse.”Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CahEva8zQas

In the same documentary, America Rebuilds, a clean up worker at ground zero uses the term "pull" when preparing for the controlled demolition of Building 6: (Use of the word “pull” as slang for “demolish”)

Luis Mendes, NYC Dept of Design and Construction: "We had to be very careful how we demolished building six. We were worried about the building six coming down and then damaging the slurry walls, so we wanted that particular building to fall within a certain area.”Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNEoiOP76QQ

No what this shows is that people have a powerful bias that can override even an expert judgement. He didn’t know building 7 was building 7 before he was told. He said prior to learning what building it was that "it was certainly demolished". Once he did learn though he was like "that can't be". Simply he had a bias on the Towers collapse (like almost everyone who now questions 911 did also before becoming sceptical), and so of course he's going to reject the idea that they were demolished initially. I can guarantee that he's probably now questioning the collapse of the Towers after seeing building 7. And the previous students who also stated that the official story for the collapse of the Towers is probably correct, I'd bet also probably have a bias that's stopping rational judgment. I have no doubt that their sincere, but those buildings were demolished, period.

Especially in discrediting the Popular Mechanics hit piece. In the Democracy Now debate between Jim Meigs and Dylan Avery, it was clear that Jim had to credible response to the controlled collapse of WTC7.

This needs to be hammered home as definitive proof. This video of the CD expert provides excellent support.

The Harmonicratic political party is in favor of harmony among all the people of the earth and between humanity and the environment. This begins with the Truth of 9/11.

But, I did catch a clip in a PBS interview with Silverstein where he admits to "pulling" building 7. I don't know how much more investigation is really required to prove it was demo'd when the devil himself has admitted to it already.

My 2.

(edit: Apparently I didn't read the part of this blog where it was covered already either! haha)

That was brilliant, the tactic of showing the video without first explaining what it was from to stop any pre-conceived ideas was great. The puzzled look on his face when he realises what he is implying goes to show the mental block people face when looking at the truth.

you're all a bunch of fuckin retards. some yahoo who couldn't give two shits looks at some long distance footage for a sensationalist evening entertainment show, and you call this "confirms" lmao what morons.

Yes. Jowenko's statements definitely do confirm that Building 7 was brought down in a controlled demolition.

Here's Webster's definition:

Confirm
Verb

1. Establish or strengthen as with new evidence or facts; "his story confirmed my doubts"; "The evidence supports the defendant".

2. Strengthen or make more firm; "The witnesses confirmed the victim's account".

3. Make more firm; "Confirm thy soul in self-control!".

And here are a few of statements that controlled demolition expert Danny Jowenko made regarding Building 7:

It starts from below... They have simply blown away columns."

"This is controlled demolition"

"A team of experts did this."

"This is professional work, without any doubt."

^This is a person who has nearly thirty years experience in the field of controlled demolition. What part of this don't you understand, Anonymous?

If Mr. Jowenko would have said "No, absolutely not! This is NOT controlled demolition", I doubt you would have responded to this blog in the same manner. It's obvious that Danny Jowenko threatens you in some way. Why do you feel so threatened by him?

I clicked on the links above and was shocked that 911 truthers are forbidden access to existing video that could be important to obtain the truth on the 911 attacks. Is it normal that important material for the 911 attacks should be denied to our citizens searching for the truth ?
